High demand for iPad 2 in US may cause delayed launch in europe?

Nah.. Apple ships a defined number of units to each international market at a defined launch date. Even IF the iPad 2 were to be completely sold out by the end of the week, that wouldn't influence Europe's launch time frame. So, relax!
I'm guessing they've mapped out their allocations for both sets of releases already which is why online orders are at 2-3 weeks shipping (so they don't divert any from the 3/25 launch). i.e. They went from 3-5 days to 2-3 weeks, so they're keeping a steady flow of units in production for retail roll-outs.
